I was soooo thrilled with this vegan ranch dressing!

It turned a simple snack of carrot and celery sticks into a gourmet treat!

In fact after tucking into those it awakened a serious desire for some (ever so slightly) less healthy potato chips that I sent Jaye off to the store to get because the ranch dressing was so good that I wanted to eat ALL of the rest of it with some potato chips!

So whether you’re going to eat it with carrot and celery sticks or potato chips or pour it over salad, you’re just going to love it, that I am very sure about.

So How Does Vegan Ranch Dressing Taste?

It tastes EXACTLY like non-vegan ranch dressing, no really, it is exactly like it.

So there is nothing to miss in the vegan version, it might just be the best vegan ranch dressing you’ve ever made!

How to make Vegan Ranch Dressing

A classic ranch dressing uses mayonnaise, buttermilk and fresh herbs and flavorings.

So for the vegan version we used a vegan mayonnaise and vegan buttermilk: made with some lemon juice and non-dairy milk, and fresh herbs and flavorings.

This was all that was needed for a totally delicious vegan ranch dressing.

And really, no one would be able to tell the difference!

It’s a simple 10-ingredient recipe and the fresh herbs are some chopped parsley and chives and the dried herbs are some dried dill, which is something we fell in love with when we made our vegan tzatziki!

Crushed garlic, sea salt, black pepper, a little cayenne pepper, and some white vinegar round the flavors out to perfection and you have a dressing that you will just want to use on everything!

How To Serve Ranch Dressing

It’s totally divine as a dip for some baked potato fries. It’s also next level on any salad! Or dollop some on top of a vegan burger! Or just chop up some fresh veggies like celery sticks and carrots to serve alongside it. It’s also amazing as a dip for potato chips. 

How To Store Homemade Ranch Dressing

Keep leftover dressing in an airtight jar in the fridge and consume it within a few days. It’s so good you’ll be looking for ways to use it up though!

Description

This simple vegan ranch dressing really delivers on flavor and will soon become your go-to vegan ranch recipe. It’s ultra creamy and totally divine as a dressing or dip.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240g) Vegan Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) Vegan Buttermilk (1 tsp Lemon Juice + Soy milk added up to the 1/4 cup (60ml) line)*
  • 1 tsp Dried Dill
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Chopped Parsley
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Chopped Chives
  • 1 tsp Crushed Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp White Vinegar

Instructions

  1. Add the mayonnaise to a bowl.
  2. Add 1 tsp lemon juice to a measuring jug and then add soy milk up to the 1/4 cup line and mix it up. It will curdle into buttermilk. Add it in to the bowl with the mayonnaise.
  3. Add the dried dill, fresh chopped parsley, chives, crushed garlic, sea salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and white vinegar and mix everything in together.
  4. Serve with fresh chopped vegetables or chips as a dip, over salads as a dressing, or as a spread on sandwiches and inside wraps.

Notes

*You can switch soy milk for almond milk when making the vegan buttermilk if you prefer.

*White vinegar is really the winning ticket here, you really won’t believe how much flavor it creates! If you want to switch this for apple cider vinegar you can go ahead, but flavor wise, white vinegar is really the winner.
